Fan Zhongyan can still talk and laugh, but Gu Yong rarely speaks, and he will hit the mark when he says it.

Sun Shangxiang was sitting next to Zhang Hua, looking at Gu Yong curiously.

Gu Yong and Sun Jian are all generations of figures, and they served as Zuo Sima in Sun Quan's shogunate.

Sun Shangxiang knows Gu Yong.

However, Sun Shangxiang traveled over in the Battle of Red Cliff, while Gu Yong traveled over after Sun Quan became king.

Gu Yong sighed when he saw the young Sun Shangxiang, which reminded Gu Yong of Sun Ce and the Sun Quan brothers who were in their prime back then.

The Sun family in Jiangdong is full of talents.

Finally, the taciturn Gu Yong spoke: "It may be a good thing for His Royal Highness to avoid political marriage."

As a grand family, Gu Yong knew the cruelty of political marriage.

Sun Shangxiang knew that Gu Yong was serious and did not dare to speak nonsense, so she secretly pulled the corner of Zhang Hua's clothes.

"You go down first."

Zhang Hua wanted to recruit Gu Yong alone, but received a hint from Sun Shangxiang, so he asked Sun Shangxiang to avoid the serious Gu Yong.

Gu Yong was too strict, and Sun Shangxiang didn't like being restrained, so she secretly stuck out her tongue at Zhang Hua, and then left with satisfaction.

Only Gu Yong and Zhang Hua were left there, and the atmosphere was even more awkward.

What a good guy, no wonder Sun Shangxiang is too afraid of Gu Yong. This guy seems to lack a sense of humor.

It is said that when Sun Quan held a banquet to entertain the ministers, everyone did not dare to indulge because Gu Yong was present, and even Sun Quan complained that he was unhappy in the banquet.

This shows Gu Yong's terrible ability to be in a cold situation.

Zhang Hua took the initiative to break the silence: "Yuan Tan came to visit, what are the great ideas?"

Gu Yong talked about the serious matters and said more: "First, to see Your Highness the Princess, to ensure your safety. Second, His Highness the Princess is the sister of the King of Wu, and he was given the kindness of the King of Wu's knowledge, so he came to thank the Lord for taking in His Highness the Princess."

Sure enough, Gu Yong also became an official because of Sun Shangxiang.

"Xin'an County is short of a county magistrate, can Yuan Tan be the county magistrate?"

Zhang Hua heard that Gu Yong wanted to become an official, so he appointed Gu Yong as the county magistrate of Xin'an County.

Gu Yong was the prime minister of Eastern Wu and it was not difficult to manage Xin'an County with a population of 100,000.

"Willing to give it a try."

After Gu Yong finished speaking, he fell into silence again.

“…”

Zhang Hua was also silent by Gu Yongji.

Although Gu Yong talked less, Zhang Hua had to ignore Gu Yong's character shortcomings and formally appointed Gu Yong as the county magistrate of Xin'an County.

Gu Yong took office and acted decisively. He organized the people to reclaim deserted fields in Xin'an County and continued to attack the bandits in the Mangshan Mountains, so that Xin'an County could be peaceful.

After Gu Yong became an official, Zhang Hua could see the ability of this Prime Minister of the Eastern Wu.

【Hero】: Gu Yong

【Level】: 47

[Commander]: 53  【Military power】: 28  【Intellect】: 84  【Politics】: 90

[Talent]: Public opinion collection (Gu Yong is good at public opinion surveys, secretly visits, and gives the collected public opinion secret reactions to the lord for reference for policy reference. Moreover, Gu Yong keeps his mouth shut and never leaks the secrets.)

[Article]: A disciple of the Wujun family, Prime Minister of the Eastern Wu.

"Gu Yong's political ability is actually 90..."

Zhang Hua thought Gu Yong had no sense of existence in the Three Kingdoms and was far less famous than Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin and others of the Eastern Wu.

But Gu Yong was able to serve as prime minister for 19 years under Sun Quan, and he was already very powerful.

Gu Yong's talent seems to have the potential to serve as a censor and supervise all officials. Through undercover investigations and collecting public opinion, this way, the political achievements of officials from all over the country can be examined.

This is a talent that does not have much effect on fighting, but is quite practical for governing internal affairs.

Zhang Hua temporarily arranged Gu Yong to be the county magistrate and accumulate qualifications. When the censor is established in the future, Gu Yong will be promoted.

Gu Yong's appointment as an official was an unexpected surprise for Zhang Hua.

In addition to Gu Yong coming to surrender, several civil officials who claimed to be officials of the Eastern Wu came to surrender. However, they were all county magistrates and county officials, with political values ​​ranging from 60 to 75. Zhang Hua had never heard of their names.

The well-known civil officials and military generals during the Three Kingdoms period were among the best, and the middle and lower-level civil officials still accounted for the majority, which was normal that they had never heard of it.

Even Gu Yong, the Prime Minister of the Eastern Wu, did not have many impressions.

But in Eastern Wu, Gu Yong had a high status.

Zhang Hua appointed this group of officials to hold important positions in various villages and towns, strengthening the administration of officials, and thus the administrative index of the territory increased.

Administrative indexes affect public security, people's hearts, and will also affect production efficiency, collect corvee labor and recruit soldiers.

Zhang Hua used the public security, people's hearts and production in various towns and villages as assessment indicators for civil servants, promoted officials with outstanding political achievements and dismissed incompetent people.

These data metrics reduce many unnecessary troubles for governance territories.

Of course, data indicators cannot fully prove that civil servants who govern the area pass, and also need to examine loyalty and integrity.

After Zhang Hua's territory returned to peace, people from all over the country were busy farming, looking like they were thriving.

The barracks of each town recruited soldiers, and Zhang Hua's troops were close to 20,000.

Twenty thousand soldiers and horses are a force that cannot be underestimated in any dynasty.

In Wagang Village, Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, served as a civil servant, governed his internal affairs, and was evenly matched with the forces of Xiazhen. Both sides were competing in secret.

In contrast, the weakened Gongzi Fusu lacked civil servants, and the situation was even more critical.

Because of Zhang Hua's intervention in Qinzhen, the Wagang army withdrew. In order to express their gratitude, Prince Fusu gave Xiazhen a thousand stones of grain, two hundred cloth, and fifty good horses.

After only 70,000 people left, young master Fusu really couldn't come up with anything.

Zhang Hua accepted the show of goodwill by Prince Fusu.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

In Qinzhen and Meng Tian were training troops, but he was not very optimistic about the prospects.

Qin Town and its villages under its jurisdiction have a population of 70,000, while Xia Town and Wagang Village have a population of more than 200,000.

In Xiazhen and Wagang Village, the military generals were not inferior to Meng Tian, ​​so the possibility of Meng Tian defeating the strong with the weak is basically zero.

In Xia Town and Wagang Village, as long as one force is sent to restrain Meng Tian and another force is sent to advance straight in, Meng Tian will be defeated.

Therefore, Meng Tian began to find a way out.

The Duwei went to Qinchuan to see if he could find the power established by Qin Shihuang or the monarchs of Qin in all dynasties.

However, there were constant beacons everywhere and roads were isolated. From the Luoyang Basin to Qinchuan, it was full of dangers.

Shujian pretended to be a refugee and headed westward.

First, Shuji passed through Zhang Hua's territory, followed by Qinchuan, and also through Yuan Shu's power.

In Qinchuan, hundreds of forces fought in a melee, with wars spreading across the sky, and white bones exposed in the wild, and one general succeeded in thousands of bones dying.

The Qinchuan in the eight hundred miles is even more powerful, with famous generals as well as civil officials as rain.

Shujian inquired about the information about the Qin forces at the Yuan Shu forces' wine shop.

"Jin Wushu actually defected to Yuan Shu."

From the chats between the people of Yuan Shu's forces, Shu learned that Jin Wushu surrendered to Yuan Shu.

Moreover, Shujian learned about Qin Chuan's power one after another.

"What, Qin Xiaogong is here too!"

Shujian finally found out the power established by the Qin king.

Qin Xiaogong was the monarch of Qin who promoted Shang Yang's reforms, strengthened Qin's national strength and gradually became the hegemon of the Warring States Period.

"If we use General Meng Tian's talent to unite with Qin Xiaogong, we may become the overlord of Qinchuan."

Shuma talked to himself.

Qinchuan is quite vast, and Yuan Shu can become one of the overlords. If Qin Xiaogong had the help of Qin generals like Meng Tian, ​​he might have risen to become a prince.

Shujian secretly went to Qin Xiaogong's territory.

On the way, when Shujian passed by a battlefield, he saw tens of thousands of soldiers fighting back and forth, which was no less tragic than the battle between the Qin army and the Wagang army.

"Tang?"

Shujian saw the flag of one of the soldiers and horses, and the big word "Tang" was written on it.

Shuma knew that it was a powerful dynasty no less than that of Qin.
